Case Study: Saylon doubles translator productivity and cuts turnaround from 1 week to 2 days with Smartcat

Saylon - Customer Case Study

Saylon, a leading Turkish translation company focused on medical, pharmaceutical and life‑sciences localization, needed a more efficient way to handle high‑volume, domain‑specific projects in Turkish. Although Saylon had adopted Smartcat as its general translation platform and partner, built‑in public MT engines in Smartcat couldn’t leverage Saylon’s extensive translation memories or specific terminology, so post‑editing remained time‑consuming — prompting Saylon to add Globalese and integrate it with Smartcat.

By integrating Smartcat with a customized Globalese neural engine trained on Saylon’s domain TMs, the vendor setup let translators access projects directly, pre‑translate 100% matches, and post‑edit within Smartcat’s CAT editor with real‑time QA and glossary support. The Smartcat+Globalese workflow (installed via a simple API key) cut several days off large jobs (a week’s work down to two days), roughly doubled translator throughput from 2,500–3,500 to 5,000–6,000 words/day, and delivered clear time‑and‑cost savings while improving quality.
